 A couple of weeks back I attended the wrap party for Art + Design Magazine's release of their 'Beauty'  issue. The all-white event was held at Desi Vega's Steakhouse in New Orleans. I loved the laid back and classy atmosphere as well as each guest's take on the dress code. The even featured trunk shows for two local brands, NOLA Ware- a men's wear line of formal wear and accessories and Root, an eco friendly line of wooden sunglasses.

There were so many great things about this issue, but one of my absolute favorites was an editorial that was shot in Portland. The colorful images of models draped in fur coats and printed pants were breathtaking and being a huge advocate for anything that even remotely channels the 70's - I was immediately obsessed. You can see some of the images here.

For my outfit I kept it simple with distressed denim and a blazer. Other attendees donned crocheted tunics, lace coachella-esque dresses, off white linen suits, and some simply added pops of white to their look. The last three images include my favorite outfits from the party. Who says all-white has to be boring?

Pedram Couture Designer, Pedram Pasha Taheri 


I'd like to introduce you all to one of my new favorite designers; Pedram Couture. 
                         
'' I want to create something beautiful and iconic that is pleasing to the senses, both visual and tactile. It's important for me to create an emotional response'' - Pedram Pasha Taheri 


Pedram specializes in all things elegant and beautiful (as if you couldn't tell), and he recently made his runway-debut during  Couture Fashion Week in New York. This past Friday, he showed a second time during Fashion Week New Orleans. I had been following along via Instagram and was beyond jealous of all my model friends who were walking in the show. Then I found out that he would be showing again in New Orleans and that was it. I just had to be there.

The first thing I noticed about this collection was the extreme attention to detail Everything from the feathers, beads, and sequins on each piece was simply unreal. And the textured/embroidered fabrics? Don't even get me started.

If I had to choose I favorite it would be the black feathered dress or the long-sleeved sequined gown. So beautiful. 

Thanks for reading and be sure to stop by the Pedram Couture Site and learn more about this amazing collection and designer.
